BNBT RSS features and configuration

To enable RSS you need to set bnbt_rss_file. It can create RSS as single file (bnbt_rss_file_mode = 0), one for each category (1), or both (2). It can also be created at a set interval of minutes (bnbt_rss_interval) and/or by clicking the link in admin panel. Also if you are using a single rss file it will add an alternative rel link to source (i.e. <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="/files/rss.xml">).
